Australia Bike Tour Day 45: Australian Internet

Well what do you know? I'm staying in Alice Springs one more night. But don't worry, tomorrow I promise to be back on the bicycle. Why am I still here? Well besides all of the awesome town food, there's fast and reliable internet - at least as fast and as reliable as I've come to expect in

Australia Bike Tour Day 44: Cycling Food

Today's my second day off in Alice Springs, and my second day of not doing much of anything - except eating. So I thought I would take the opportunity to talk about the food I eat whilst rolling through (or sleeping in) the Outback; in town, the answer to this question is "everything". One of

Australia Bike Tour Day 43: Alice Springs

I had my last day off just two days ago coming back from Uluru, but after a 124-mile (199 km) day yesterday (my longest of the ride), and because I'm now in the long-anticipated Alice Springs, a day off from riding is mandatory. What else is mandatory? Pizza and beer. Despite being nearly a

Australia Bike Tour Day 42: 199 km

Just over a week ago I completed my longest day of the trip, 91.75 mi / 147.63 km. Waking up early to leave Erldunda this morning I see a sign: Alice Springs 199 km (for those wondering, because I know some of you are, 199 km is 123.65 miles). Alice Springs - aka Outback Mecca - is the largest

Australia Bike Tour Day 41: The Rain

I should just learn to embrace the rain. When you think about it, rain is pretty mind blowing (as is the rest of nature). Here I am complaining about not being able to find water, and it's falling from the fucking sky. I am sure some people in the world (maybe someone living in the Atacama

Australia Bike Tour Day 40: Uluru

Uluru, (the big rock you've probably seen on a postcard from Australia) - literally the heart of the Australian Outback (if not for this rock nobody would come out here) - has long occupied a spot on my "things in the world I have to see" list (yes, I have a list). Sure, it might only be a large

Australia Bike Tour Day 39: Hitch To Yulara

Two days of sun and then four of thunderstorms - the unanimous weather forecast for the greater Uluru area. Unfortunately, I am on a bit of a budget as far as time goes (and am deathly afraid of being on a bicycle in the Outback in the middle of a thunderstorm). Instead of spending four

Australia Bike Tour Day 38: The Northern Territory

Today was a big day in the world of solo non-competitive Outback bicycle touring. I crossed my second border - this time, into the Northern Territory. The Northern Territory (NT), the third largest but least populated of Australia's eight states and territories, borders Western Australia (to

Australia Bike Tour Day 37: Road Trains

Australia's Outback isn't the most populated of places. With a population density of 0.015 inhabitants per km², you're more likely to encounter a troop of kangaroos than you are a person - so I hope you brought plenty of water. Despite the definitive amount of nothingness in Australia's
